I have been resisting the urge to lay them out and<br />see out they look because I know if I do, I will try to control the color<br />selection and I really want it to be as random as possible. Your color<br />choices really produced a bright design and I really hope mine is even half as<br />pretty.Sandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-6608337656273371812014-06-04T14:27:32.966+01:002014-06-04T14:27:32.966+01:00It is absolutely lovely!

I drive myself so mad that I never even get the project started. This is beautiful and the fact that you have discontinued colors makes it even more precious.

I think a big reason why the random colours work here is because of your raised joins - it's like each square has its own little frame, so is a tiny work all on it's own, joined with all the other pretty framed squares.
